Most Georgia libraries have a set, there are 10 Volumns at present, and were compiled and written by Judge Folks Huxford of Clinch County, Georgia. If you cannot fine them in your local library and want to obtain your own copies then try the Huxford Genealogical Society. They are a very good resource to the search of southern Georgia and Northern Florida, and maintain a large amounts of Genealogiical Data. http://www.huxford.com/ Bill

I will accept that Jennie made a rare transcription error. I could understand many people subtracting years from their OWN dob, but not intentionally for others so long ago. I wonder how many mysteries may be explained by this potential error source. The INTENTIONAL misleading another about ones age!!!! I shall propose this to be a "vanity error" because many folks are vain about their age and will fudge occasionally. if this happened when the enumerator came to visit, then the dates would be different than their mothers gave years before... Just a thought Jenny should remember that in Broxton, we were admonished by our parents to never ask a lady her age. That was unforgivable. Remember the lady at the drugstore who made a career of keeping her age a closely guarded secret? But she made the worlds best hotdog with pimento cheese. Bet Sam Roberts could remember this trivia... tom b atkinson also tomjax@yahoo.com

Several are transcribed, and a handful of counties have the images scanned and posted online, including Appling Co 1880. However, I haven't seen any 1880 census transcribed online. And right now, I can't get any of my genealogy bookmarks to work. Jeff

> "all rest born in GA" means that is what the census taker recorded. >We can hope that is what they told him and that they know! > I haven't seen the Coffee Co 1880 census, but the images of the Appling County 1880 census are online. I cannot read what each column heading of the preprinted census ledger says, as the images weren't scanned in high enough quality to be able to magnify them and make out the print. But on those images, there are at least 3 columns to the far right for each individual. In all three of these columns there are state abbreviations, and I have been assuming that the letters recorded in at least one of these columns have something to do with places of birth for a parent of the person recorded. Perhaps I am incorrect. (If someone could let me know what each column heading says, or where I could find out what they say, I could solve another mystery for my wife's family). Did the census taker not use these preprinted ledgers to record Berry Hampton Tanner's 1880 entry? > I am really a goof ball! Naw y'ain't.

But you did have me wondering something there for a minute. Take care, Jeff

Jennie, Here is what I have learned. This second entry in the Huxford source has some "typos". It is actually the 1880 census record of Berry Hampton Tanner and his second wife, Hester Ward. The census taker did not complete the bottom loop on the "B", and also incorrectly recorded the "P/B" out of order. That would correctly explain every thing about the entry. Berry Hampton Tanner, "Sen" (Sr.) would have correctly been 67 in 1880. He died the following year. I'd like to see that actual entry. If "all rest born GA", then that proves that John Tanner was born in Georgia. Right?

Jeff, The last three columns for the 1880 census are place of birth of this person, place of birth of father, place of birth of mother. I did not know that any Georgia census was on line! I will have to check it out! Yes, the census taker used the preprinted ledgers to record the entry. Thanks again.

Jeff, I am really a goof ball! Look at the EDate. I plainly had Jul 1880, but had placdd 1860 in the front when I typed the date as I "organized" my data on this record.
